Re: Unable to install modules that require compilation of C code

I encountered a similar problem compiling nmap ("compiler cannot create

Tools (which come with 10.3 by default).  After registration you can  
get the update here:

That solved the nmap issue and the problems with compiling C code using  
CPAN.  DBD::mysql here I come
